thats it the whole time it was the closing plusskin tag where i didn't realize the / went before the *, now the code i was given works perfectly. it did say that line 131 which was the opening plusskin tage was the error and that it was a pairing error but because i believed the closing tag syntax was right it didn't make sense.

thanks guys, now if i copy paste the working show hide button code and only change the cmdid can i make code to operate other buttons or what as this is the only button in this window apparently.

The other buttons are located in the 1001 definition file (except for the Messenger Plus! Live settings button, which you have to remove via SkinInfo, then add yourself in the definition before giving the option to remove it)

The only bit you need to copy and paste are the PlusSkin bits.....everything else for the buttons is already there, you just need to add the code to show/hide them, which is the PlusSkin bit

sorry danny but there are no buttons in the 1001 files, how do you build the other buttons from scratch and what are there cmdid's

stuart, all of the buttons are in the 1001 definition file, you can't build them from scratch, they're already there

just search for 'button' and you'll find all of them

* Willz facepalms

all you have to do is look for the word button or cmdid and that is how you find the buttons in any uifile. Its not rocket surgery

the buttons aren't there ive checked, i know how to find buttons but the buttons im looking for arent anywhere in any of the uifiles so they have to be built from scratch so how do i do that?

Have you used WLM 2009?

There is no Sharing Folder, Space, Today, Call, SMS or Colourise buttons.

The only buttons are for Contact List Layout, the WLM menu and Adding a contact, all of which are highlighted above, found by searching for 'button'

I already explained that the Plus! buttons have to be added seperately, having been removed via SkinInfo, have a look in any existing WLM 2009 skin to see how this is done.

i saw those buttons but it isn't clear which one is which so how can i apply the right plusskin tag to the right button if i cannot identify them? i have used WLM 2009 i just assumed those buttons had been disabled by default but could be restored if required.

They are all identified:

"AddBehavior=DUI::MenuFromChildren("LeftClick","Bottom","AddContactDropdown") " - add contact

"id=atom(viewoptsdlg)" - "view options" dialogue aka contact list layout

"ID=atom(FLWMenuBtn)" - menu button
